The problem uses the perimeter formula.  P = 2w + 2l   where w is the width, and l is the length.

We know the length (l) is 3 inches longer than it's width (or l = w+3).  Substitute w +3 into Perimeter equation

P = 2w + 2(w+3).  That simplifies to P = 4w + 6.

Since P + 42,   we have 42 = 4w +6.  With some simple algebra we find that w = 9 and l = 12.

Hope this helps!

What is the perimeter of rectangle that has a width of 11 and a length of 25?
devlian [24]

Perimeter = 2l + 2w

w = 11

l = 25

2 * 25 = 50

2 * 11 = 22

22 + 50 = 72

The perimeter is 72.

What is the solution for the equation -15=5(3y-10)-5y
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

  • \Large\boxed{\sf{y=\dfrac{7}{2} }}

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable of y from one side of the equation.

-14=5(3y-10)-5y

<u>First, switch sides.</u>

\sf{5\left(3y-10\right)-5y=-15}

Use the distributive property.

<u>DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY:</u>

A(B-C)=AB-AC

5(3y-10)

Multiply by expand.

5*3y=15y

5*10=50

15y-50-5y

15y-5=10y

= 10y-50

10y-50=-15

Add by 50 from both sides.

10y-50+50=-15+50

Solve.

10y=35

Then, you divide by 10 from both sides.

10y/10=35/10

Solve.

Divide the numbers from left to right.

35/10=7/2

y=7/2

Divide is another option.

7/2=3.5

\Longrightarrow: \boxed{\sf{y=\dfrac{7}{2}}}

  • <u>Therefore, the correct answer is y=7/2.</u>

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
